Alliances between Native Americans and rural whites to combat climate change
Zoltán Grossman, Professor of Geography and Native Studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, discusses some ongoing alliances between Native Americans and rural whites in organizing on behalf of the environment to halt mining companies, the XL pipeline, and developing responses to climate change.

He is co-editor of book Asserting Native Resilience: Pacific Rim Indigenous Nations Face the Climate Crisis (Oregon State University Press), writes for Common Dreams and other publications, and is currently working on a book about rural Native/non-Native environmental alliances.
